Sharon and Nicholas paid a visit to the coffeehouse for the first time since their ordeal with Matt. Cody was glad to see them, but Sharon asked to go home right away after having visions of her conversations with "Carter" there. Once they returned home, Nick wanted to know what was wrong and encouraged to talk about her fears. She wondered if something was wrong with her, the way she was sucked in by Matt's lies.

Tricia received a visit from her father who brought her some new clothes in preparation for her release. She told him that she looked forward to seeing Ryan and being with him again -- her father tried to clear the situation up for her and told her that Ryan was just her friend now. She seemed to accept it, but later told the nurse about how much in love they were and how excited she was to be with him again.

At Ryan's apartment, Victoria sensed too many memories of Tricia there and wanted to go somewhere else. They talked together and thought about their future.

Brad and Ashley talked about his ideas for Colleen spending more time in Genoa City this summer. At first she was a bit threatened, but came around, understanding that his daughter was important to him.

Colleen wasn't positive that she wanted to do it, but Tracey told her booking agent that she was taking some time off from book signings.

Brittany told J.T. about what had happened in the poolhouse. He didn't have much sympathy for her, considering the fact that she had deceived so many people in order to get what she wanted. She spat back at him that he had a lot to lose if Mac and Billy reunited -- he didn't think that that would happen.

Jack was trying to get a story from Raul about possible problems between Billy and Brittany when Billy ran into the house and tried to go straight upstairs to his room. Jack called him back down and asked what the deal was, but with no success. Phyllis encouraged Jack to back off and they left for her apartment.

Rianna went to the pool house to talk to Mac, while Raul talked to Billy. Raul and Rianna encouraged their friends to talk to each other right away, but Billy was upset that Mac hadn't told him about the tape and Mac was worried about how Billy was feeling. They came together in the house, but Billy ran off upstairs and Mac left as well.

Phyllis and Jack talked about the fact that she had known that something was going on, but hadn't told him. She gave him some ideas about how to turn this whole thing around to make it a positive for the Glo by Jabot website, and diverted his attention with a sexy nurse's outfit that turned into lingerie and they melted together on the sofa. . . .
